Hi iordan,
we are just starting the activity letting the user to pick the proper client.
If there is none which would handle it, we show a toast showing that please install aSPICE
or bVNC (depending if the user connects to SPICE or VNC).
Also in project page (
) we list bVNC as dependency -
aSPICE not yet since the integration is just a proof of concept and not merged yet.
Once finished, we will list it.
Don't worry, we are integrating your clients, not hiding them ;)
Tomas

Hey Franta,
Glad to hear it works for you now. I hope your plan is for movirt to
check whether com.iiordanov.freeaspice or com.iiordanov.aspice is
installed and direct people to install v.3.7.7 or higher either from
where I distribute the APK on github or from Google Play.
I would really appreciate it if my client saw the light of day on
people's devices and wasn't hidden somewhere within movirt.
Thanks!
iordan
